(Hartmond = Harsh month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD, BCE or CE)Plans: Me to VA, Meeka to VetNOTE: 50 days until the 2012-13 MLS http://www.mlssoccer.com/ Season starts!

AM Prayer: Friday/Friggastag, we pray to Frija/Frigga, Froja/Freyja, lighting gold candles (for Frija’s spinning thread of gold, Froyja’s golden tears).Frija/Frigga, teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. We honor the Frija/Frigga that resides in us. FRIJA/FRIGGA, HAIL!! Froja/Freyja, who could not love you? Women as their own inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty, passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. We honor the Froja/Freyja that resides in us.

Outcome: Lookin’ good!Meeka seems to be doing better again this morning Lots of love and positive energy from Facebook going Meeka’s way today.I called to make Meeka a Vet appointment for later this afternoon.Errands*Car Payment*El Mexico Café for lunch I experimented with some décor for the Hof but I don’t think it’s going to work. There MIGHT be another way it can, but as it is…no.The visit with Meeka’s Vet was quite illuminating. He reminded us that we’re still trying to get her Phenobarbital dose balanced at the right amount which is probably what has been causing her distress of late. So, the Phenobarbital will be backed off just a bit. At the same time, he says we’re no doubt dealing with arthritis in her hips and back, which means more meds. Again, I’ll do all I can do for her. It’s just like he said, “See, it’s not a bad as you were expecting.” Meeka weighed in at 65 lbs today. That’s the top weight number for her breed http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/boxer.htm Now it might be time to start reducing her food intake a bit to make sure she doesn’t become too heavy. It’s not that I just keep a good relationship with Meeka’s Vet for Meeka’s sake; he’s also my good friend from way back. This whole situation has been a good stroke of luck, but there’re still things to be worked out.MISL games http://misl.uslsoccer.com/Norfolk SharX 2:18 Baltimore Blast http://misl.uslsoccer.com/home/591658.html WOW!http://www.pointstreak.com/prostats/boxscore.html?gameid=1740515Milwaukee Wave 16:18 Wichita Wings http://misl.uslsoccer.com/home/591673.html WINGS WIN!!!!!!http://www.pointstreak.com/prostats/boxscore.html?gameid=1740514WINGS WIN!

Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. We honor the Njord that resides in us.
